I consider that, for the
reasons given above, there is no
alternative but that this problem
should be dealt with by the Hong
Kong Government and that any
resulting expenditure, except in
particular cases where the Service
have
Department accept liability, must be
met by the Hong Kong Government.
I should however be glad to be informed
eventually what expenditure is
incurred by the Hong Kong Government
on this score, although I must warn
you that it is unlikely that any
further aseistance from His Majesty's
Government will be forthcoming.
I have, etc.
